Less automatic dialback of music on the Sony 10 speaker system.
You can crank it when a quiet part is on, and it will play about 1 second as loud as you want, then it dials it back to save the speakers/your ears/whatever, and it's annoying as hell.
Otherwise, a bit more power would be lovely, but 30 extra horses in the NA cars would be outrunning a stock ST according to the ultra-scientific research I've been able to accomplish while only being pulled a car or two by any ST I've ever run into.
To all the guys talking about their tuxedo black paint, I'm in Detroit metro, where we are only a few inches away from breaking our snow record set in the 1800s. We had a warmer day today (over 32F), so I took my car to the coin-operated wash and blasted it with the soap spray (not using the brush). It got a lot of the salt and dirt off, and made it look halfway decent. Enough to get by and make the car look better than most others on the road, with $3 and 5 minutes.
That being said, I wish my car came with a force field. [dunno]
Change the DCT to be more responsive and paddles on the steering wheel instead of the rocker button on the gear shift. Also, more durable paint and love my nav but not always the most accurate.
Tilt adjustment for driver's seat cushion- it is tilted too ass low for me. I put some spacers under the rear rails so it is better. Paddle shifters for the DCT.
Better DCT upshifts
Painted lowers
Exhaust looks cheap (5$ tip) and better a hole in the rear valance.
Door trims loooks cheap(cloth) I have leather seats
Lower price please...30K plus taxes is a lot of dinero
Slap some cloth trim on the trunk lid ...the bare wiring looks ridiculous
I did not buy the Titanium because this car was already 27K plus taxes a Titanium was pushing 30K which is too much for a Focus. Resale sucks I was offered 12K less than what I paid for 4 months 4000 after initial purchase date. I was supposed to trade in the Focus for the truck...... I was so insulted that decided to keep it....it's paying for itself with the gas that I'm saving. Ford please revise your prices.
As a ti owner first thing on the list for me is that dumb shifter for the DCT like WTF?
if you want manual buy a manual xO should have been paddel shifters but not to worry ill probably find some way to use the fusions steering wheel to convert it when i have the money too xD and just disconnect the one on the stick.
Other than that I don't have issues with anything else.
Oh but I have one with the design team not seeing the potential in this car could have been one of the next BIG sports sedans for the sedan models but w.e
Speaking of love/hate with tuxedo black, i already have a couple rock chips in the hood and some various swirls(lifht enough that i am there only person that would ever notice).
When it gets semi nice again i need to buy a DA polisher,some clay, and wax/sealer and detail it right.
This weather is freaking driving me nuts. I thought maybe I could wash the ride this weekend, only to find out it's supposed to snow on Sunday night. JUST STOP ALREADY.
Ok so I listed my one wish and didn't want to double dip... But since you said it, I will echo this a million times over. The interior rattles are ridiculous. I know the focus is an "econo" car, but that's no excuse for the clear lack of refinement and quality control. Yes, I am legitimately pissed about this.
